Christmas Bonbons

Level: Beginner

Time needed: 30 minutes

What you need:

Decorative paper
Bonbon snaps
Paper rolls
Christmas rub-ons
Assorted ribbons

What to do:

1. Choose your decorative paper and cut 30cm x 16cm rectangles (1 per bon bon). Fix the bon bon snap inside the bon bon roll - you can use sticky tape or a hot glue gun.

2. Place the bon bon in the centre of your decorative paper, roll it up and fix it securely with some double sided tape or glue.

3. Using scissors or a scalpel, cut some small slits in the wrap just after both ends of the roll to make twisting the ends easier. Twist one end of the wrap and tie with a ribbon.

4. Fill the bon bon with a treasure and joke, and then twist the other end and tie. You can add other decorations including rub on Christmas greetings, photos, beads, flowers or name tags to add that personal touch.
